Findecanor:
Meh. Modern Trek lost its way years ago. You're still watching?
I've binged first three seasons of Slow Horses. Season four started last week.
On my list of series to check out:
• Maniac
• Counterpart

Of course my opinion is very skewed since I was 14 when TOS began ....
TNG seemed to suck deeply, but a rewatching in the pandemic made it less horrible. My big problem was that I despised most of the major characters. If 2/3 of the shows were discarded it could have had a few excellent seasons.
I kind of liked Voyager even though it was goofy and lame. DS9 was hopelessly tainted by awful characters and acting, although it was pretty well written. Discovery has had some excellent moments but mostly flounders in ludicrous improbabilty and implausible writing.
Enterprise and Strange New Worlds are by far the strongest of the later series, in my opinion, although there were very weak episodes in them. I struggle to excuse the liberties that they take with canon.
Picard does not deserve honorable mention, mainly because I never liked Picard due to the gigantic stick that was always up his butt. In my opinion each entire season could have (and should have) been edited down to a single excellent episode.
tp4tissue:
Chronicles of Rid**** (2004).
Christina Cox, very attractiv in dat 4K.
Textures / Grain detail are excellent. Not much use of HDR highlights, buhhhh, everything still looks gud' and remains stylistically faithful.

BBoys Ride or Die,
That Arri 4.5K camera post w/ 4K DI is insanity
Look at the sharpness, dynamic range, what noise, not even visible.....
tp4tissue:
Immaculate (2024).
Pretty standard tropes, but well done. Bit many unnecessary nood scenes, but that's just modern hollywood.
Sydney Sweeney, great actress, she's got that emo-grl thing perfect in 100% of such roles.
